the minor fall and the major lift

In the last few weeks I’ve noticed an explosion of late 90s/early 00s nostalgia on the radio. As a result, I’ve had some pretty ridiculous  songs stuck in my head. Because my inbox is overwhelming, and because I can’t get the album I planned on reviewing to download, I bring you a review of some decade-old hits (and some of their lesser known lead-ins or follow-ups).

SEMISONIC
Major – “Closing Time”
Minor – “Secret Smile”

FASTBALL
Major – “The Way”
Minor – “Out of My Head”

STROKE9
Major – “Little Black Backpack”
Minor – “Letters”

NINE DAYS
Major – “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”
Minor – “If I Am”

SAVE FERRIS
Major – “Come On Eileen”
Minor  – “The World Is New”

I could keep going (I’m actually a little terrified by my recall), but I’ll quit with two randoms:

Gob – “I Hear You Calling”
Jimmy Ray – “Are You Jimmy Ray?”

Seriously. I could torment you with this kind of nonsense for days.
